Happy Birthday Best Friend! I hope you have a most excellent 22nd birthday my friend, wish I could be there! Today is also World AIDS Day so please keep those who are affected by this disease in your prayers today. I could see my breath this morning outside so you know its cold! But we have a tasty tea today so time for tea!
Tea: Mighty Leaf Tea African Nectar
Like?: I do like this tea
Where to buy?: Nick bought this assorted box for me for my birthday or Christmas (I'm sorry I don't remember honey :( ) but I think you can probably get it at Safeway or www.mightyleaf.com
Grade: A-
his tea confuses my pallet. When I first take a sip I get this bold black tea taste and then after I get this sweet and slightly tangy flavor leftover. I am assuming that is the nectar part of the tea. Because this isn't a traditional tea it's hard to describe it in comparison to other teas. It is a very aromatic tea and actually smells like a few black teas we have in stock. It's flavor is very unique however. I am enjoying this tea with a cinnamon chocolate chip scone I made the other day so it is a nice compliment to the citrusy flavor of the tea. If you like unique tasting teas then this is a good tea for you.
I have no idea what's for dinner tonight because I don't cook on Wednesday because I have class. But only one week left of school and then finals after today! Yay!!!

November 19 2010
Well obviously I have to start off by saying Harry Potter was fantastic! So much better than the last one (thank God!). More action and more drama. So good. Ahh definitely going to be anticipating the FINAL installment of HP this July. It will be a bittersweet end for sure. We got in around 3am last night and woke up around 7:50am. So almost 5 hours of sleep, not bad. I'm feeling it though. And I'm extremely uncomfortable from sitting on the cold hard ground for 2 and a half hours then int he uncomfortable movie chairs for 4 hours. But worth it nonetheless.
On to tea!
Tea: STASH Premium Double Spice Chai Black Tea
Like?: This is a delicious tea for sure. Very robust.
Where to buy?: Grocery stories, STASH is between $3.50-$4.50 a box. And very worth the money. Very good quality tea.
Grade: A
Nick's dad pointed out an article in the Mercury news about a week ago. And it was all about chai. The columnist decided to rate different chais to find out which was the best. And guess which made the top? Why the very chai we are drinking this morning. Here is the article if you are interested:

So of course you know it's a good chai when out of all the chais available, this one made number one. Although it is highly subjective. This is the strongest chai tea I have had. It has a very strong cinnamon and clove taste. Which is why Nick loves this tea, he LOVES cloves. It is a nice blend. Strong in terms of the spices, but it is a nice tea on a tired morning. The cinnamon and clove flavors definitely awaken your taste buds! So overall, I definitely recommend this tea if you are a chai lover. You won't be disappointed.
So along with the excitement of Harry Potter, yesterday was mine and Nick's very good friend Nick's birthday. There are a lot of Nick's in my life. So tonight we are going to celebrate his birthday in downtown San Jose. So I think we're going to Gordon Biersch and I don't quite know what we are going to eat there...but we'll figure something out.
This is a very busy weekend of robotics competitions, apartment hunting, dentist appointments, hockey, and the most anticipated football game (besides the Superbowl) for any Patriots fan (vs. the Colts, GO PATS). So it will be a busy and filled weekend, hopefully fun. So have a good weekend everyone! See you Monday for tea!
